I made sure I didn't have to worry about being on the £62,500 limit......I made sure my account had well over that in it. Just easier for me that way......and then I don't have to prove my pension income as well. As soon as the visa gets ok'd I'm likely to stick that money into a 1 year bond.....likely through the post office which gets 1.36%.......better than what I am getting through the bank.

Yeah, I didn't want to tie up even more funds for 6+ months - or bother setting up a UK bank account as a non-resident.
